It truly is. I love how Steward at the end humbly, but in a very matter of fact way tells Rummy in so many words, "I just blessed you with some precious jewels. Only Bert Sugar can hit you with this level shit, but even then, I was in the corner with a lot of these warriors. A true legend and they are both sorely missed.

I agree 100%!

Glenn Richards I agree with you I think it’s the very best interview I’ve ever heard in my life and everything Emmanuel Stewart said was so accurate even predicting the future

Better than anyone to listen to glad we got material like this maybe he knew something we didn't, he often did..love ya manny

@@billybob9961 he pretty much said tyson fury would be the next dominant heavyweight

That's awesome did you give him any winners

I was 15 and fighting at 139lbs and told him I wanted to become a world champion and he said "What's a nice white boy like you want to get involved in this business?" He was happy to take a picture and got the impression he was pure class.

@Trash picking Pete Totally cool.

The Last time Emanuel was on tv was in my corner on Showtime🥊 Emanuel Steward was my mentor

@@K9boxing I jus subbed to ur channel I hope ur the real K9 in the fake world nobody knows whose who or what’s what ? YOU DONT KNOW ME my newest music video my pro debut will b this April or May thanks for ur amazing fights if this really is you !! Salute !!!

Exactly what I think everytime I hear him. His voice was made for boxing. Emanuelle Stewards knowledge of boxing history and each fighter is incredible, but not only that, he is also completely honest when asked his opinion about any fighter. What an interview!

I agree. I loved hearing his co commentary. It was unique

@Chris Tasse go pick some flowers you Nancy.

Lennox was asked if mike had him hurt he said not so much as his legs hurt by being slapped by manny.

Emmanuel has trained many great boxers and could see mentally Fury had it. He was mentally better than Wlad could ever dream of and physically more talented than Wlad also.

Not only that, he also mentioned deontaye wilder as the second one, and dismissed guys like price and helenius who were by far better prospects at the time.

@@RingIQ The man was right at the end of the day. Poor Pricey never even got past domestic British level.

So true price was voted prospect of the year in 2012 by espn

He predicted Fury & Wilder wre going to be successful.thats very strange especially in Wilder's case,coz any1 who watches boxing is appalled by Wilder's lack of skill.but the Emmanuel's eye saw something tht no1 else can c 2 THIS DAT.

His name is Reginald Rum

DNF Danninetyf 😆

One of the most interesting points was about the Louis v schmelling fight being so big and momentous an event.

I was thinking the same thing lol!

RIP, Jeff! Miss you! I know you’re updating Emanuel about everything that’s going on here. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤

did this fight between our Lennox Lewis,the proud Londoner and whom he addresses as ridiculous bowe ever take place

moving on from boxing a4re there any comments that I may have exchanged about musician /producer Todd Rundgren

I 6

Not only that, but Rummy doesn't interject his own (perfectly valid) opinions after Emanuel's answers. Rummy just let's Emanuel's statements linger and then moves on to another perfect question. Excellent interview

@@jamesgomez753 Often a good interviewer will answer a response with a statement designed to get a deeper insight. Steward's answers were very complete AND Rummy had lots more good questions with a finite amount time. That's why God invented heaven... you/we want to go there.

He was a great man.

True boxing man

​@Declan It was released 10 years ago on the old Boxing247 platform, I missed it first time round.

Right? I'm LOVING this (like it's McDonald's).

For real!!! A gem. They're out there!!

Couldn't agree more about Liston. If he hadn't gotten in trouble with the law and started his boxing career in 1949/1950 we might be talking about him as the GOAT. If he had been at his prime at age 25 or 26 I can not think of any heavyweight in boxing history who could have beaten him.

@@2vintage68Ali still would have beaten. He still was too flat-footed and he never had hand or foot speed. A Young Ali is just fast and too long for Liston

Yeah I'm surprised. He pretty much pulled a Cus D'Amato who's motto was I never put my fighter in a situation he can't win

Yes incredible

I thought it was bowe or rock newman who made the decision, not futch!

I thought that

I always thought bowe lewis was a pretty even contest. I take lewis on a slender points win but a determined and motivated bowe would of given lennox hell.

90s heavyweight chronology is still undefeated for me!

And lineal Champions chronology also one of his best

i think he lived a fairly long and memorable life

Thanks for your service sir

Semper Fi Marine

ioe wasn't little

@@roybrowne1974 Joe was 5"11 in the Heavyweight division, so by that metric, he was pretty small. Joe also had an elbow he couldn't bend fully and was almost blind in 1 eye. Smokin Joe overcame these to become a world champion and beat Ali. Absolute legend.

little Joe "RELENTLESS WITH THE HEART OF A LION "

Agreed.

And yet, somehow, 15 jerks have done so. SMDH.

I find it incredible that it has been disliked.

TheBigCoffinHunter They either didn't watch it or are just as you said, Jerks but they'll always be jerks & this interview will always be a great interview.

Your username is a thing Larry Holmes would says lmfao.

Who’s clay?

@@JoeKing837 Clay? Cassius Clay, ie Mohammad Ali.

Learn something

This is how you really learn,not just watching 2 minute clips

so he did with Tyson if you have listened carefully...

@@lavzorvic4129 Not really, he gave Mike credit for what he achieved given his size. He just said Mike had trouble with bigger tough guys, which is true. But Mike managed to overcome then and win. So that commends respect.

Lewis spanked him.

@@michaeltrumph121 He said the same for Marciano. Steward doesn't rate either of them, or ANY small heavyweight. That's why his answer is always the same for small fighters "did well to overcome his disadvantages".

It's an unusual thing about the heavyweight division. Even though it's an odd thing to do when discussing guys who fight in the same division, you kind of have to temper heavyweight evaluations with a sort of pound-for-pound perspective. To take it to today's scene, Oleksandr Usyk may in a sense be 'better' than some top heavyweights but not able to beat them in heavyweight fights. Or if you're for example a young Evander Holyfield, you could have ruled the cruiserweight division for ages, but 1% as many people would have known your name. So you take the step up to the marquee division -- but in doing so, you do take on disadvantages. Guys, on the other hand, who have a lot of skill and ability yet are naturally the size of a 'super heavyweight' will just always have significant advantages over you that do not entirely come from that skill and ability.
